I would like to put my icons back in the area that is reached via Start/All Programs/ and then associated
with the specific program. How to do it?
I want to remove the icons from my desktop.
I know I can delete those, but how do I get the icons back to the Programs
menu?
For example, once I drag the Word icon from Start/All Programs/Microsoft
Office
onto my desktop, the Word icon is gone from the All Programs list. How do I
get it back in that list?
When i double click on a desktop shortcut i find that the icon goes to the start up menu list( to the left of all programs) as well each time. Is there some way to stop this happening? I don`t really need the same one in two places.
I added some new software to my Pc (Win XP system) and now I notice that when I use the Start - All Programs - and view my list of programs I have 3 x Wide Columns but I can't se the 3rd column fully as the first 2 are really wide pushing the 3rd nearly off the screen.
How to narrow this view list.I tried to 'drag' the walls of the colunm but that option is not available.
When I open the START menu/ All Programs, the main list with all the program folders is there but the final files to click are blank, I only get a box,raised from what ever background is present at the time. At this time the hidden icons on the taskbar open and close extremely slowly when operated. I found a temporary fix by deleting anything, so we make a new folder and immediately delete it. This corrects both problems instantly until the next reboot but needs to be done separately for each user that logs on.
I have experienced a sudden problem starting programs. The computer boots correctly, and all desktop icons appear correctly. But when I double click a desktop icon, or start a program from the start menu, I get a popup window displaying a list of programs and asking me which program I want to use to start the application. I select the correct program (or browse to the appropriate .exe file), but still the application doesn't start. This includes IE and Windows Messenger. My virus scanner was about the only thing that I could start up, and I did a system scan with Panda Anti-Virus, but it didn't show anything substantial (just some cookies).Using my WinXP set up disk,I've tried to do a repair (I guess reinstallation without reformatting the hard disk), but after I entered the License Key, the computer did a reboot and then stopped. It is stuck on the XP splash screen and won't go any further (I once let it run over night, but it was still frozen on the splash screen). I even tried to repeat the repair process, but that didn't work.Automatic updates did download an update just before this problem started (I think it was the day before the problems began). I don't know what this update was and I'm not sure it was SP3 (system does have SP2 installed).Considering that the computer freezes now when booting up, is there anything that I can do short of reformatting the Hard Drive? I also have another hard drive that I can use to install XP onto. Is there any way that I can rescue the data from the old Hard Drive and transfer to new drive?
i guess they short cut icons, when you click Start All Programs. Just wounding can you put a new heading in there. Like i got games so i just drag and drop all my games in there and i have Accessories/System tool and i drag all my PC scans and maintenance programs. I want to create a few headings like burning and chat.
I am using Windows XP/SP2 a newish computer and some things changed from how it used to be.From the *Start* Button, there is the further button *Programs*. This then has the fly-out menu which used to open only the most recently accessed programs. Typically, after a boot it would show the items which opened in *Start-Up*, the rest were accessible only by hovering the mouse cursor over a button showing downward pointing arrows (more chevron like). This would then open the entire sub menu of programs to choose from. However, in the past week it now opens in that expanded view all the time. There is no sign of the little arrows anymore, and I always end up with a screen full of program lists whenever I go to Start/Programs.
Since installing some minor items this week, all of the items previously found under "All Programs" within the Start menu have disappeared. What happened, how do I fix it, and how do I start programs that used to be there but also have no desktop icon?
I've reinstalled XP and some icons are missing from the "Start"/"all programs" menu. Both Outlook Express and Internet Explorer are missing. I was able to locate them using "search" then open and pin to start menu. (The search function displays i.e. shortcuts for "administrator", "guest" and the other user, but not for me. The icons do display on the "all programs" list for the other user). Any suggestions as to how to get them back on the "all programs" menu?
On starting my computer there are 2 icons missing from my list.Why has this happened and how can i get them back?My recycle bin is empty so I am at a loss as to what to do.
When I click on the "All Programs" in the start menu, it comes up in one long single listing. It used to be 2 listings, when the 1st had enough, the second listing would be next to it. However it's all in a single listing now. How can I get it back to 2 lists?? This is a clear explanation.
I am running xp sp2, and when you click on start-all programs, a list should show..i lost assesories, and all the other standard ones, the only thigs that are there are programs i loaded, but the puzzleing thing is its on my lap top and only under on user name, not the 4 others..make sence?
I just upgraded from 2k to XP. On 2K i could have all my desktop icons and icons for programs i use down on the task bar above open applications. Im sure theres a way to do this on XP so i dont have to go to my desktop or the start menu every time to open a new program.
I have tried searching this forum and did some Googling but haven't seen a cure for this. I have a pretty fair amount of programs installed and my 'all programs' list is pretty long. The problem is it takes almost 30 seconds to scroll from the top to the bottom, which is annoying when I want to start a program that's at the bottom (or top) of the list. Does anyone know of a registry hack or something that can speed it up?
I am using Windows XP SP2. When I go to Start/programs I have items listed separately ie: Canon has 5 separate items. Is it possible to put these into a folder under Canon?
All the entries on the "all programs"list show empty although the associated programs are still operative. Any clues as how to fix this? Useing XP Home SP3
When I right click on a file and select "open with" there is a program on the list that I do not have anymore which is adobe acrobat reader 5.0. I have XP home.
Is there a way to remove certain things from the Add/Remove Programs file list? I've manually deleted about seven programs, because their Uninstall would not startup, but the programs stay on the list.
I have a PC running Windows 2000 (Me) and I getting the following error message:
Terminating thread due to a stack overflow problem. A VxD, possibly recently installed, has consumed too much stack space. Increase the setting of 'MinSPs' in SYSTEM.INI or remove recently installed VxD's. There are currently 15 SPs allocated. Press any Key to continue.
When I press any key I get the following error message:
There are no spare stack pages. It may be necessary to increase the setting of 'MinSPs' in SYSTEM.INI to prevent possible stacks faults. There are currently 16 SPs allocated. Press any Key to continue.
When I press any key I get the first error message again and again. The number of SPs allocated in the error message keeps increasing every time I press a Key.
The only way to acces my PC is with the SAFE Mode.
How do I create folders and combine like programs that show in "All Programs". I want to put all the various utility programs I have into one folder called "Utilities"?
I want to print a list of all the programs I have on my pc, as I am wanting to do a total re-install. I have used the 'uninstall list' from highjack this, but not all of the programs are listed. There are shortcuts on my desktop, which are not in the program list.can I get a complete list of all the programs.
I have an NEC laptop with Windows XP. I ran C-cleaner today and under the 'Tools' section, found in the 'Uninstall' section several strange programs that I have never installed. I don't know whether to remove them or leave them as they are. I've had the experience of deleting some mystery programs off my old computer and then finding that something or other couldn't run, so I'm deathly afraid that the same thing will happen on my laptop. I'll list out my NEC laptop mystery program names here.
what these programs are and whether to uninstall or leave them? Here they are:
1. AppCore 2. AV 3. ccCommon 4. CP2101 USB to UART Bridge Controller 5. Internet Worm Protection (could this be part of the trial version of Norton Antivirus on my comouter?) 6. SPBBC 32bit 7. SymNet
Also, I've checked other forums that say the following programs (which I didn't install but are on my Programs to Remove list in CCleaner) are harmless, but I just want to make sure they really are. Here is the list: 1. CameraDrivers 2. Director 3. QFolder 4. SkinsHP1 5. SkinsHP2 6. TIxx21/x515 7. TrayApp 8. Unload 9. WebFldrs XP 10. WebReg
I am reinstalling windows xp. i have had it running for 4 years and its getting slower so i'm thinking of doing a clean install.
what i want to know is; is there a way to list all the currently installed programs to assist me with the reinstallation. I want to be able to print out a list so i can install the same programs again-- bar a pile i will leave off.
When I do "Inicio/Todos los programas" and I try right button on mouse to display menu to select the option to classify the list of programs in alphabetical order, this not works. Only a blink appears but not the options list. I have XP Pro SP2.
When I click on start - all programs, the list opens, but only three programs are there now. Set program access and defaults, Internet Explorer, and Windows media player. All other program links are gone. This is very recent, and the only thing that has changed recently is the XP service pack 2 downloaded and installed. I am currently running McAffee 2004
